CREATIVITY IN THE CITY (MILLIKEN)

Milliken commissioned me to put together their activity for the London Design Festival around the theme of Creativity in the City, to coincide with the launch of my third book, Urban Potters: Makers in the City. I put together a programme of activity that included an exhibition of work by the four London-based potters in the book, Matthew Raw as artist-in-residence running a series of workshops and demonstrations, an exclusive preview of the Design Milk Made in London film featuring ceramicist Chris Keenan, and of course the book launch which included a talk and drinks afterwards. The showroom was packed all week, with a record 200 people visiting the throughout the week. “Thank you so much for a great week of events at the Milliken showroom,” said Lucie Parkin, PR for Milliken. “The exhibition looked fantastic and I thought Matthew Raw was really great.”
